In her first chance to make a personal impression on Republican senators who she wants to sit alongside next year, Nevada hopeful Sharron Angle is scheduled to speak to them at lunch Tuesday in the U.S. Capitol, a spokesman said.
Angle's attendance at the Republican luncheon raised the question whether she would be introduced by Sen. John Ensign. The fellow Nevada Republican knows her best but his profile during the campaign has been lower than low due to the taint from his extramarital affair and his status as the target of dual ethics and criminal investigations into its aftermath.
Ensign's spokeswoman Jennifer Cooper confirmed this evening that Ensign will be at the lunch and will be presenting Angle to the caucus. The luncheon takes place behind closed doors.
Angle last week suggested on a talk show in Nevada that she might be open to getting help from Ensign. For his part, Ensign said he "wants to help and not hurt" Angle and would play whatever role -- or none-- that she wants.
